Actually, at this point we could just:
#if defined(__AIX)
      do {
          rv = close(fd);
      } while (rv == -1 && errno == EINTR);
#else
     rv = close(fd);
#endif
Right, might be the simplest.


But boy this close() EINTR business is evil. Choosing between risking
file descriptor leaks or random double closes ...

and we aren't out of the woods yet, there are a few other places that 
need similar attention.
